Alright, I'm focusing on the motherboard's VRM now. It's an A320 chipset model, not B450 or B550, and it doesn't support Ryzen 5000 chips. You'll need to choose a B450, X470, or B550 board for the Ryzen 5000 series. The AsRock A320M Pro4 R2 0 uses a 3+3 VRM setup, which isn't great but not the worst. A Ryzen 3600 should work fine if you keep it stock and avoid overclocking. It's still significantly better than your Ryzen 3200G. If you're thinking about upgrading, we can explore that too. A decent B450 or B550 board is available at a reasonable cost.
Your current CPU+motherboard setup is around 400-450 euros, which is tight. You might want to look for a solid upgrade or consider a more affordable option instead of buying a new CPU.
It refers to a specific technical approach in power electronics, often used to describe how a circuit or system is designed for efficiency and performance. It’s not just marketing—it’s a practical method for managing voltage and current in power systems.
Also consider the 10th generation Intel CPUs; they’re solid options based on your location. My take remains the same about not getting the 9700k.
I wouldn't be interested unless your system already supports the motherboard, the processor was very affordable, and you were using a chipset inferior to an i5-8400.
